The X post from @monad_comunity promotes a potential scam
The X post from @monad_comunity promotes a potential scam, asking users to send 0.05 $ETH ETH for 100,000 $MON tokens, a common tactic in crypto scams exploiting Monad's hype as a high-performance EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain, which raised $225 million in 2024 and promises 10,000 transactions per second.
Monad’s mainnet launch speculation, fueled by a tweet on April 25, 2025, and a successful testnet, has created buzz, but this post’s unofficial account and lack of verification align with patterns of fraudulent airdrop schemes, as warned by platforms like airdrops.io, which emphasize verified token distributions.
The crypto space is rife with scams, with German authorities seizing $38 million in digital assets on May 9, 2025, from a platform linked to the Bybit hack, highlighting the risks of unverified offers like this one, especially amidst Monad’s anticipated $MON token listing in 2025.
